It’s the day we certainly have been waiting for! We have again partnered with McIntosh of Strathmore to bring back our Mac and Cheese Festival as part of the Southside Fringe. After a year out, McIntosh Pastaval is back! The coverage we’ve received so far has been incredible so we know that others must love macaroni as much as we do! The two previous winners will be taking part this year, along with Buddy’s and two new competitors hoping to win the coveted McIntosh Pastaval trophy and we need the publics’ help to pick the best mac and cheese in the Southside this year.

The day will begin with participants picking up their Mac and Cheese appreciation pack from the McIntosh Pastaval base at The Butterfly and The Pig South on Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands. Then, using their provided map, attendees visit the participating venues tasting some delicious mac and cheese. Scorecards are provided so that notes can be made on your feelings on the mac and cheese. Return the scorecards at the end of your journey through the McIntosh Pastaval to enter a prize draw for delights such as a meal for two at Buddy’s, McIntosh hamper and much more!

    All venues are family-friendly so kids can take part, you are welcome to share your bowl of macaroni with them but if they want a full bowl/score card each then you should purchase children’s tickets (£5 each).
